Monument detail

"... It is sometimes called the City of Magnificent Distances, but it might with greater propriety be termed the City of Magnificent Intentions."

Capitol detail

Last Sunday return times from D.C. at Ronald Reagan airport, looking back from gate 33, over the Potomac River towards the Capitol building and the Washington monument.  A unique viewpoint for me, and a perfect opportunity to try the newer layers on adobe ideas after finally successfully merging from the old versions...

India Gate, a closer view

The main path is known as the Rajpath and connects the India Gate to Rashtrapati Bhawan.  Following India's independence, the India Gate became the site of the Indain Army's, Tomb of the Unknown soldier, known as Amar Jawan Jyoti ("the flame of the immortal soldier").
